Plagiarism and Copyright

Plagiarism and copyright infringement are often confused. Although the two concepts are related there are important differences.
* Copyright is a legal term and copyright infringement is an offence in most countries (Creaney 2009a, 2009b).
  • Plagiarism is an ethical issue to do with honesty and integrity. It may also be an offence against the regulations of organisations such as universities and professional bodies - but it is not illegal."
